Ellis Island

I caught a ride on a White Star Line
all leaks, overbooked and I wouldn’t have cared if it went down
They let the poor folks in the gorgeous hall
It looked like Oliver Twist attending the Plaza’s ball

Don’t get me started on the service
They must’ve thought my blood was red but it’s as blue as they come
I guess they’ve got a different idea
of what it means to say the customer is sovereign they
just chalked my suit
